About us
Custom Security and Communication Systems, Inc. is a dynamic, locally owned and operated business. Its president, Norm Bauman, began learning the business at his fathers knee, assisting his dad with alarm installation since age ten. In the early 1980s, Norm also worked for other security companies across New York State, gathering knowledge and honing his techniques. Seeing a need for reliable installation methods and more individualized customer service, he formed his own company, Custom Security Systems, in 1984.
Norm was an extremely knowledgable in all of the home security and up and coming smart home technologies. He walked me through every step of my security camera installation and even described to me the benefits of running Ethernet instead of coax. I recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a security installer or Smart home installation expert.

Due to another job lasting longer than intended, they did show up late. BUT...they worked hard to get the antenna installed before it got dark out. Very dedicated business.

My job of installing an antenna turned out to be much more difficult than anticipated but he eventually was able to accomplish the objective. I am in Rochester and he is the only person I know that does this work.

Norm spent all day installing a roof antenna for us, and what routinely would have taken perhaps a morning, took all day. He went above and beyond our expectations to make sure the job was a success. In addition to making numerous adjustments and modifications along the way to get the best signal in a difficult situation Norm was both personable and very engaging. Thank you Norm!

Our company, Tetra Tech, hired Custom Security & Communication Systems TWICE to clean up/hide audio visual equipment/wiring in a conference room. Second time was a full move to another location. Norm did an excellent job! Extremely neat and would recommend for home or office work. A++

Dealing with a previously unknown contractor can be worrisome at times, but, after speaking with Norm by phone, I had no qualms about inviting him over to size up the job and perform the work. He immediately struck me as honest and fair, and while the price for the new rotator might have been more than I would like to pay, I decided that it was fair and reasonable for the quality. In addition, he spent time to make some minor adjustments not included in his original proposal, and at no additional charge. He spent more time than expected, but did not add any additional hourly charge for this, either. Summing up, I would say that the service and quality were. well worth the cost. Norm himself was pleasant and amiable, taking time to speak with us and instruct us on the operation of the updated design rotator remote control. I will gladly call him again should the need arise.
